Nice work, Sarah. Congrats.

I have no tips on running. I hate running. I don't do it nearly as much as I should. Lifting weights is fun. I don't mind it at all. Running I hate. I just can't bring myself to do it.

bis, tris and elyptical this morning. felt good to sweat the wookie out of me from this weekend :wook:

[jagermonster]

any more tips on running? I tested and moved up a rank in judo. training this summer to move up again in time for fall, get back on track.

Stretch a lot, start slow like a light jog to warm up for a few than gradually increase to your comfortable speed. Start out just doing a mile 3 times a week, and add some distance every few runs. Definitely don't go running for the first time and decide to run a 5K. You'll only hurt yourself and chances are you'll automatically hate running and never want to do it again. After a few months you can decide to step it up to jog, run, sprints if you'd like. That method is supposed to be pretty good cardio, but I just like to run. Also music helps big time. It keeps your mind busy, but sometimes I don't bring music, I just count in my head. Up into the thousands. It's weird I know.

I've still been playing tennis 3 or 4 times a week instead of hitting the weights during the season. It all ends with the club tournament Aug 7-14. After that, I'll be back in the gym.

Oh, and, I'm married, so you're welcome to slay all the poon you want except one.

Better hit the gym, junior, or she is gonna be gawkin up the buff bruhs at the beach.

i missed the gym yesterday, gonna try to make it this afternoon

[deadheadskier]

just back from chest, shoulders and 30 mins cardio.

officially down 20 pounds since I joined the gym in November. Was 208 then, tipped the scale at 188 today.

of course, this will be very short lived with all beers I'll drink this weekend.

either way, pretty happy with my progress. done it all through exercise and zero changes to my diet. Still could stand to lose another 15 I'd say. Hopefully by ski season.

Chest and soccer tonight, puffballs.

[deadheadskier]

shoulders and chest this morning followed by 35 minutes of cardio. 1 hour of hard cardio this afternoon after work. I know they're not totally accurate, but according to the elyptical machine I use I burned 1765 calories today.
